Sheaf of Verses

by Radclyffe Hall

This collection of poems by Radclyffe Hall delves into the complexities of love, relationships, and the emotional landscape of the author's life. The verses, penned during a time when societal attitudes towards same-sex relationships were highly restrictive, reflect a yearning for connection and a desire for open expression. While some poems explore the joy and intimacy of love, others touch upon the pain of secrecy and the challenges of navigating a world where love is often hidden. The poems offer a glimpse into Hall's personal life, revealing the depth of her emotions and the power of her feelings.
